Vega Sicilia Único 1999 is a full-bodied red blend from the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. This vintage consists of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested during a year marked by a challenging frost in mid-April followed by a hot, dry summer. The wine underwent nearly 10 years of ageing in large and small oak barrels before its release. It displays a sophisticated balance between ripe dark fruit, leather and toasted spice, with the Cabernet component providing a firm tannic spine that suggests many more years of evolution.
